In all energy transfers, if no energy leaves or enters the system, then the potential energy will always be less.

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator is doubled.

So,

Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is $X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)$ ...........(1)

Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

A = Amplitude in (m,cm,km.....)

F = Frequency in (Hz)

T = Time in (sec.)

Ф = Phase in (rad)

For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

Initial displacement = $A\sin(\phi)$ .................(2)

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

$V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

Initial speed = $2\pi fA\cos\phi$ ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

What is a tsunami? How is it formed?

IrinaK [193]

A tsunami is a series of waves generated in an ocean or other body of water by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. ... Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down

A head-on, elastic collision between two particles with equal initial speed v leaves the more massive particle (mass m1) at rest

ZanzabumX [31]

<span>1/3 The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r" The equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2MV^2. So the energy for the system prior to collision is 0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5 The energy after the collision is 0.5rv^2 Setting the two equations equal to each other 0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2 r + 1 = rv^2 (r + 1)/r = v^2 sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v The momentum prior to collision is -1r + 1 Momentum after collision is rv Setting the equations equal to each other rv = -1r + 1 rv +1r = 1 r(v+1) = 1 Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v r(v+1) = 1 Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r. r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1 r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2 r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2 r = 1 - 2r 3r = 1 r = 1/3 So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>
